50 Pairs? Seriously, Guardian Online, seriously??

21-10-2017

Someone is wrong on the Internet!

Grateful though we always are for free publicity, we prefer the details to be correct! On Thursday 19th October, 2017, we were listed as No. 5 in the Guardian Online's 'Five of the UK's best birdwatching sites'.

Brilliant, wonderful, marvellous, fabulous etc etc to be included - BUT the article states that we have 50 breeding pairs of white-tailed sea eagles on Rum, along with golden eagles too!

Guess how many we really have. 30? No. 20? No. 10? No. 5? No.

The real number is 2. Rum has 2 pairs of breeding sea eagles. Actually, it's really 1 and a half, because we share a pair with the Isle of Canna!

So, if you are making plans to come and dive into our sea of sea eagles, please be aware that it's more of a puddle.
